I engage in unethical behavior by effectively scamming people myself. I moralize about it often and don't feel like a great person but at the end of the day all I'm doing is a microcosm of what the worst of the worst people are doing, and the difference it makes for me is being able to live an average and comfortable existence.
FWIW, my scheme is using LLMs to pump out right-wing conspiracy slop for publishing on Amazon. Each book makes cents to dollars but you push enough stuff out (especially about relevant topics) and you get a steady stream of income. I prefer this to materially cheating someone out of a product because the buyer was just going to buy some other slop anyway.

As long as that slop doesn't contribute to harming the oppressed, but instead is some harmless made up nonsense about NASA hiding alien artifacts or something.
You're not that far off. A combination of lack of effort + prompting the LLM to produce fiction produces, I think, a perfect combination of slop that is actively harmful to their worldview while being obviously fake about a third of the way through. Sometimes, I'll just switch tracks midway and insert communist propaganda into a book that, for example, is examining the worldwide influence of Antifa reptiles.
